Find or Create a Critique Group

This member benefit will help members find and join a currently functioning critique group or create their own. We do this by maintaining a roster of interested members and arranging introductions based on your preferences.


  • Tell us your criteria
    Do you want to meet in person or do you prefer online? What genre are you interested in? What days and times work for you? How far do you want to travel?
  • What we will do
    Mt. Diablo only provides introductions of possible interested members. We do not assign members to groups. The decision to join or form a group is left to the individual members.
  • Critique Groups do not “belong” to Mt. Diablo
    All critique groups are autonomous.
  • Resources we’ll provide
    We will provide general information on how to run or participate in a critique group. We also encourage you to look online for information.
  • Our introductions are available only to members of Mt. Diablo
    This program is for Mt. Diablo members only. This means we do not accept requests from non-members and will not add them to our critique group roster.

    This does NOT mean you can’t have non-CWC members in your group! See the 3rd bullet, above.
